The Schneider Electric TeSys LG7K06M704A29 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter — a pre-wired, self-contained unit combining a contactor, circuit-breaker, and padlocking device in a single polycarbonate enclosure. It is designed for AC-3 duty, meaning it handles the high inrush of squirrel-cage motors during starting and breaks the load under running conditions, not stalled rotor. The thermal protection adjustment range of 0.4...0.63 A sets the overload relay to match the motor full-load current; for a 0.18 kW motor at 400/415 V AC or 440 V AC (50/60 Hz), this is the correct band. The IP55 rating (per IEC 60529) means it is dust-protected and withstands water jets — suitable for washdown areas, outdoor canopies, or environments where hose-down cleaning is routine. The IK07 impact rating (per IEC 60529) adds mechanical robustness against low-energy impacts.
Cable entries are provided: four knockouts (2 x Pg 13 + 2 x Pg 16) on both top and bottom faces, giving flexibility for top-entry or bottom-entry wiring without drilling. The polycarbonate material is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, suited for food-and-bev or chemical environments where metal enclosures would degrade. This is a safety application: the starter serves as both the motor disconnecting means and the overload protection in one assembly, simplifying panel layout and reducing wiring points.
